Chapter 75: All of them, misprinted stamps

Upon hearing this, Chen Fengying was still feeling embarrassed, but Chu Yue beside her spoke out clearly and concisely.

"She came here first, and she wants all three pounds of pork." Chu Yue not only said this, but also bumped Chen Fengying's arm and reminded her, "Sister Chen, give me the meat ticket quickly."

When the salesperson said that these were the last three pounds of pork, the people standing behind Chu Yue and Chen Fengying almost popped their eyes out.

It is the end of the year, and in order to have a good year, who knows what people will do when they are crazy? If the last three pounds of pork are stolen, Chen Fengying’s trip will be in vain.

Chen Fengying was still in a daze. Listening to Chu Yue's words, she subconsciously gave away the three tickets she was holding tightly in her hand.

Pay the money and get the goods.

Pork belly meat is not considered good meat, but at least it was bought, and three pounds of pork fell into Chen Fengying's hands.

The salesperson shouted to the long line behind Chu Yue and Chen Fengying, "Today's pork is sold out! Sold out! Don't line up if you want to buy pork! Do you hear me? Don't line up! There's no pork left!"

Upon hearing such a loud voice, the crowd immediately let out groans and complaints.

"How come it's gone? We can't even eat pork during Chinese New Year. How can we even celebrate the Chinese New Year?"

"Are you hiding the pork to sell to people you know? Three pigs a day, that's several hundred pounds. It's only the hour now, how come they're all sold out?"

"That's right! Open the warehouse and show us! I won't go back if I can't buy pork today!"

Amidst the clamor, some people couldn't buy pork and had to leave helplessly, while others couldn't buy pork and became angry and even directed their anger at the salesperson.

The salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative had obviously seen this kind of scene many times, so he didn't get angry with the group of shouting sisters-in-law.

"You can say whatever you want, but the pork is sold out anyway. I can't make you produce more pork even if you tell me to." The salesman snorted twice, opened the storage room behind him, and pulled out a bunch of things. "We're out of pork, so these are all we have. Do you want any?"

Someone screamed, "What the hell is that? Why does it stink so bad?"

Then, an unpleasant fishy smell suddenly spread.

Chu Yue was still in the team, standing at the front of the crowd. She faced the fishy and stinky smell head-on. When everyone covered their mouths and noses, she just frowned.

The smell is indeed strong, but not unbearable.

The goods that the after-sales staff pulled out were not pork, but pig offal. (Picture)

The so-called pig offal refers to most of the pig's internal organs that have a strong odor and are difficult to cook simply, such as the "heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys", as well as pig intestines, pig ears, pig mouths, etc. The types are quite complicated.

There was a huge mess and blood.

Chu Yue even saw a large piece of pig skin in it, and she didn't know how it was peeled off.

Because pork was in short supply during the New Year, people had been complaining that they couldn't buy pork. The leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative really couldn't produce any pork, so they came up with a compromise and got some unwanted pig offal from the meat processing plant.

Although the food is not very good, it is cheap, less than one-fifth of the price of pork.

Some people couldn't stand the fishy smell and left immediately.

Chu Yue stared at the pool of bloody pig offal with shining eyes, watching with great interest.

Chen Fengying, who had seen pigs being slaughtered in the village, couldn't help but feel nauseous when she saw these things. She was about to pull Chu Yue away, but saw Chu Yue looking up and saying to the salesperson.

"This piece of pig skin, this pig ear, this pig mouth, and these pig intestines, I want them all."

All of them——want it?!

The salesperson was sitting with his legs crossed, thinking he could scare everyone away, but he didn't expect that a very clean and gentle little girl would point at this and that with her fingers and actually take them all.

Doesn't she think it stinks?

The salesperson was stunned. "...Are you sure?"

"Well, I'm sure. You calculate the price and I'll give you the money." Chu Yue took out the money from his pocket with a calm face.

A few minutes later.

When Chu Yue and Chen Fengying left the supply and marketing cooperative, wherever they went, people around them covered their noses and backed away. It was because Chu Yue smelled so bad.

Chen Fengying still felt a lingering fear and spoke cautiously, "Sister Chu, if you really want to eat pork, I'll take out my piece and we'll have half each. This stuff is too smelly. If you can't clean it, you won't be able to eat it later."

"Sister Chen, don't worry. I know how to make it delicious. Don't worry, I won't waste your money." Chu Yue smiled confidently. "Sister Chen, where are you going next?"

Chen Fengying still had to go to the market to buy New Year's goods, while Chu Yue said she was going to the post office to send a telegram to her family, so the two separated and went about their own business.

As soon as Chen Fengying left, Chu Yue found a secluded place and immediately packed up the pile of pig offal and put it in the space.

Although she could tolerate the smell, she really didn't want to attract attention!

As for going to the post office to send a telegram to her family, it was naturally fake. It was just to separate from Chen Fengying. Chu Yue had no feelings for the original owner's family. She wished that their family would have no peace. How could she possibly contact them again if both sides were completely broken off?

However, Chu Yue still passed by the post office door after acting out the whole play.

She passed by passers-by at the post office door and happened to hear the young man complaining.

"What's wrong with the post office these days? They even make mistakes on stamps! It's so wrong, I don't even know if this stamp is usable. I had to make a second trip to exchange it."

Chu Yue's ears twitched, and she turned around hastily. "Comrade, you said there's a typo on this stamp?"

The passerby was a young man in his twenties. When he saw a fair and pretty girl like Chu Yue, he was stunned at first, then his attitude softened and he took his stamps and said to Chu Yue.

"Look, is the 'before' in 'BC' printed wrong?"

Chu Yue took the small stamp handed to her by the other party and took a closer look. She found that the stamp was printed with an ancient figure, and the era of the ancient person was specially noted. The word "before" in "before the Common Era" was indeed printed incorrectly. It was a genuine misprint.

Chu Yue was delighted and said to the young man, "Comrade, don't return this stamp. Why don't you sell it to me?"

The other party was puzzled, "Sell it to you?"
